Help !!
Trying to fit a new cooker hood and thought (probably wrongly) that I could attach a 3 pin plug and plug it in and away we go.
Two questions:
I have read on here that this is ok but use a 3 amp fuse in the plug ?
Secondly, the cable that has been supplied with the unit is not long enough to reach the socket - without taking the whole unit apart to fit a longer cable (nigh on impossible due to its design) what are my options ?
Use a junction box and attach new cable and what size cable do I need ?
Or any other ideas ?
Any help would be appreciated.
